I'm the Man Who Loves You

all I can see
is black and white
and white and pink
with blades of blue
that lay between
the words I think
on a page
I was meaning
to send to you
I couldn't tell
if it would
bring my heart
the way I wanted
when I started
writing this letter to you
but if I could
you know I would
just hold your hand
and you'd understand
I'm the man who loves you

all I can be
is a busy sea
of spinning wheels
and hands that feel
for stones to throw
and feet that run
but come back home
it makes no difference
ever known
makes no difference
ever known to me
but if I could
you know I would
just hold your hand
and you'd understand
I'm the man who loves you

Secret of the Sea

Who can guess the secret of the sea? Who can guess the secret of the sea? If you can guess the secret of my love for you We both could know the secret of the sea

Tell me, could you ever tell the secret of the sea? Of these high rolling waves along the shore? The footprints of the lovers that come here to love, By the tides washed away forever more

Who can guess the secret of the sea? Who can guess the secret of the sea? If you can guess the secret of my love for you We both could know the secret of the sea

You claim to know the secret of a kiss and a hug And the secret of the grass and of the trees And if you can tell the secret of a warm friends hand Then we all would feel the secrets of the sea

Who can guess the secret of the sea? Who can guess the secret of the sea? If you can guess the secret of my love for you We both could know the secret of the sea
